Parameters
slot slot-number: Specifies an IRF member device by its member ID or a PEX by its virtual slot
number. If you do not specify this option on an IRF fabric, the command reboots all member devices.
If you do not specify this option on an IRF 3 system, the command reboots all parent devices and
PEXs.
force: Reboots the device immediately without performing any software check. If this keyword is not
specified, the system first checks whether the reboot might result in data loss or a system failure. For
example, the system checks whether the main system software image file exists and whether a write
operation is in progress on a storage medium. If the reboot might cause problems, the system does
not reboot the device.
Usage guidelines
CAUTION:
• A device reboot might interrupt network services.
• If the main startup software images are corrupted or missing, you must re-specify a set of main
startup software images before executing the reboot command.
For data security, the device does not reboot if you reboot the device while the device is performing
file operations.
Use the force keyword only when you cannot reboot the device without using it.
